Feet

Smooth feet and pedicured toes. The podiatrist chair. I didn’t want to go at first, but at the end I was so glad I completed the task. If I let my anxiety subside, I can lay back and enjoy the process. My feet are callous free for the first time in a year. This brings me to thinking that what I just put off as mere annoyances were actual impediments. I’m learning that my anxiety and fear has jackknifed my happiness in so many ways.  I shouldn’t withstand annoyance, perceived or otherwise, when there are easy remedies. God,

You keep

Showing up

In each chair

In each room

And saying

I’m with you

What’s the problem

Don’t you feel better

I love your feet

Now you must 

Do the same

    I can't imagine what it would be like to have feet without callouses. This sounds divine.

    Anxiety and fear can jackknife happiness, can't they?

    No pedicures here - and you make them sound enticing.

    It is amazing what anxiety can keep us from and we listen to that voice over God, we have to decide what to put our trust in.

    Fear and anxiety are stressful, but it's hard to manage them sometimes. Glad you were able to overcome and enjoy your pedicure! Nicely groomed feet feel so good!

    So pleased that you now have smooth feet and pedicured toes. It can be very beneficial to sit in the podiatrist chair :)

    Take care, my good wishes.

    All the best Jan

    I need to get a pedicure but like you, I'm not a fan. I should just do it!

    Sounds good. My feet hurt a lot because of a lot walking. Have done 25 miles in the last few days :-|

    Other than being very ticklish which makes the process uncomfortable, it is always so nice to get your feet cleaned up. Happy new week.

    What a beautiful verse to conclude with Regine - and yes, so often we put off caring for ourselves when we shouldn't.
    Stay safe

    Good to hear you overcome your anxiety to have a pedicure and a good experience-I don't like anyone touching my feet and can't get it over quick enough when my daughter cuts my nails for me
